Applet using sockets works perfectly under Netscape but not under IE

Question

I have setup a java applet compiled with Sun Forte which implements a connection with a server application with sockets. The applet works perfectly on the same machine when it is loaded from netscape communicator but I receive an com.ms.security.SecurityExceptionEx security error when I am trying to connect on 127.0.0.1:7000. How can I solve this problem I have with IE. I would like to thank you on advanced.

Hi,
if ur applet want to open socket in IE you need to import microsoft java package which is in Microsoft SDK for Java 4.0.
import com.ms.security.*;
try {
if (Class.forName("com.ms.security.PolicyEngine") != null) {
     PolicyEngine.assertPermission(PermissionID.NETIO);
} catch (Throwable cnfe) {
               System.err.println( cnfe.toString() );
you have to write above code and compile the java file by using jvc.exe which in Microsoft SDK for Java 4.0.
You can download Microsoft SDK for Java 4.0 from microsoft site.
try & all the best
